I assume "--ignore-binary" or "--ignore-binary-files" would be the GNU

Another possibility would be to follow the example of the

I want a silent ignore of binary files.
It'd be reasonable to add an option to do this, after the feature

I think it should take an option to not ignore binary files.

Bonjour M. David O'Brien
FreeBSD's previous grep had a "-a" flag to ignore binary files. Thus I'm
trying to find a replacement for the old ``grep -al'' usage.
In the coming 2.4, if this is such problem for you, there is en environ
variable, that will restore the 2.0 behaviour(everything

I just happened to notice this today. For some reason 'grep' seems to
think that 'set' output is binary, not text. Seems that GNU grep 2.3 is
a little too sensitive to text/binary detection. This only seems to
affect -CURRENT because -STABLE runs GNU grep 2.0. (This was committed
October 28th).

Most likely this is because the output of your `set' command contains

Please don't change the algorithm to deduce which files are binary.

Yes, and real programmers do not eat quiche either.
